Brown Hall (1892) was the gift of mathematics professor Albert B. Dod's sister, Mrs. David B. Brown, in memory of her husband. she was also the donor of Dod Hall. This dormitory was designed by John Lyman Faxon, who, like other architects of his era, was a votary of the Italian Renaissance style. He modeled Brown after a Florentine palace, but, as Professor Thomas J. Wertenbaker later observed, "the completed building, with its heavy lines . . . had little of the charm of Italian architecture."
